Profile
Janine Lovejoy Wilford has 20 years of experience in various project types specializing in early educational spaces. She has designed child care centers, elementary schools, children's libraries, community centers as well as civic, commercial and residential projects.
Janine is a licensed architect who has had first-hand experience working in a cooperative preschool classroom for three years. She has also participated in numerous child care seminars and courses to further advance her knowledge in child development and associated architectural design.
Becoming a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP) demonstrates Janine's commitment to the environment and the implementation of sustainable building practices. The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary program administered by the US Green Building Council. It provides standards to promote buildings that are healthy places for their occupants, energy-efficient, cost-efficient, and built with sustainable materials and methods.
Additionally, Janine's interests in Arts and Crafts architecture, environmental issues, and site sensitive design has helped her create distinctive projects. Green and sustainable design practices are integrated into the projects through choice of materials, site location, and day lighting, among many other considerations.
